Get Adults Model Release

As we mentioned, a model release is signed by the talent so the photographer can license or use the image. On the other hand, a photo release form is a document signed by the photographer and given to the client so they can print copies of the work (i.e. portraits, headshots, or wedding photos, etc.).

If you are publishing photos of people on social media, a model release form is necessary only if your post advertises your services. If your photographs include children and you plan to use the images for commercial purposes, such as advertising, you should use a model release form.

The general rule is that you do not need a model release to take a photograph of anyone in a public place. Now (of course) that is not limitless! You will need a model release from any identifiable person in your photograph that you want to use in a commercial way.

Another key aspect of negotiating a model release form is being transparent about how much you're willing to pay the model for their image.

If someone can recognize themselves in a photo, it needs a model release. Even if your photo of a person is a silhouette, it needs a model release for commercial use.

Using Portraits in Your Portfolio or Website Portfolio Generally, you do not need a model release for photographs you publish on your website portfolio or use in your photography portfolio. There are some exceptions, however.

The last section of your model release form should include the signature and witness of both the model and the photographer. This will make the document legally binding and enforceable.
